Day 7 of 12 Goodie Giveaway

Loads of great comments yesterday. But, who knew so many of you had so many traumatic experiences with swans as children?! I tried to feed one in my 20s and was chased too. Gorgeous birds but best viewed from afar. :)

On to the winners from yesterday!

The winner of the FQ pack of Modern Whimsy is:

#54, Cherry Red Quilter

I think I would take them down to the local water system where there are currently ducks and grumpy geese. It would be fun to see swans there too and lots of kids go there to feed the birds so they would love it too - and baby swans - too cute!

And the 2 winners of the Amanda Murphy pattern, Bejeweled, are:

#116: Lesley

Ummmm, seven swans a swimming would have to be put in our community's pond, with little red ribbons tied safely around their necks for a photo opportunity...no swans would be endangered during the process...thanks for the great chance to win and fun with this question!

Oh, I really need those seven swans. We always have sooooo many geese in the pond behind our house. These geese leave lots of "presents" in our backyard. Swans protect their territory and chase the geese away. Bring on the swans!

So when I think of goose eggs I think of those big painful knots on your head you get when you whack it on something. So now all I can see are 6 geese running around with baseball bats whapping people. I think I will stay clear of this gift.

Geese and their eggs would be wonderful. So many things to make. Hallowed out egg ornaments for the tree. Lots of deviled eggs to eat! Can use the goose's down feathers for a comforter and it's meat for pate! Hope that end part isn't too gross to folks, but I love pate! Thanks for the giveaway!

we live on a smallish lake, and i love all the geese we see! if i were lucky enough to have 6 geese laying eggs for me, i'd use the eggs as decorations - blown of course, and then painted with fabulous romanian designs!

Oh wow I love this line of fabric! I would get the geese to lay lots and use the eggs in a huge amount of cakes for a community football event we're organising for 2nd Jan, the men can play football and the women can eat cake made with deliciously large eggs! thanks

Six geese-a-layin: I will keep the eggs and hopefully have some goslings. As for the mature geese, well, six would be enough for a main course at our Christmas family dinner and New Year's too. Thanks for the giveaway.

Geese lay wonderful big eggs so they would have a home on our pond - and a place to lay those eggs. They are often used in Ukrainian Easter egg decorating too - a beautiful cultural treasure for sure. Thanks for sharing during this season :)

Lightening doesn't strike twice or so they say so I have no chance of being lucky enough to win twice - a very big thanks for fabric i won yesterday - SO EXCITED - now to today's Geese a laying - I would send them to my sister's sheep farm in Western Australia- they would drive the farm dogs nuts, and probably her husband but she would love them! They would probably follow her around like the orphaned lambs and kangaroos she has raised! Bug thanks again!

Oh this is getting harder for me. lol I'm not very country, so I'll admit that I'm sort of at a loss for the six geese. I'd probably give them to friends who do have a farm and they would happily eat them...err...their eggs? This is why I'm not very country. I already have the heabie jeabies!

Bing Danish the first thing I had to do with Six Geese A-laying was too look it up on Google as I had NO CLUE what it refered to *LOL* Now that I know I will of course have to use the six days of creation to quilt and quilt and quilt :)

I would put the six geese-a-laying in my backyard pond dredged and stocked for the five swans-a-swimming in hopes that they would all play together nicely. An although I've never eaten goose eggs, I'm willing to try them in a Christmas Frittata.

I love this fabric! The colors are awesome! If I had six geese I would keep a safe distance and find someone to relocate them. When I was little my mother was chased, goosed, and trapped on top of our car. There were two of them and they had the car surrounded. Luckily we hadn't gotten out of the car and the owner was there to get the geese away from us. As for the eggs I would gladly keep those and cook with them. Thanks for a chance to win!!!

Just love urban circus! Six geese a laying..........I'll need a BIG hen house to keep them all happy...and I know they'll keep the front field clear of bugs And grass.....our five acres will look amazing!

I just found you through Amanda Murphy Designs. What a great time to become a follower. hehe. Geese? No thanks, I grew up on a farm and I'd rather not have any. I'm going to sell my geese. hehe. After I make sure none of them are laying any golden eggs.

I'd collect the eggs everyday for making omelets and quiche. But I wouldn't crack them. No, I'd poke holes in each end and blow them clean so we could paint them extravagantly. In the spring, I'd let them keep their eggs to hatch. I wonder how many goslings we'll have :)

Well, they would have to be fenced off somewhere and Hubby would have to go in and get the eggs because geese can be real nasty...but my little Jack Russell would protect me..ROFL. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.

I suspect I'd spend a fair bit of time keeping the geese separated from our dear chickens and our curious dogs. Of all the guests so far, I might take a pass on these, or encourage them to visit someone else. Does that sound awful? It might be that I'm too tired to come up with a hospitable answer. Goodnight!

We had a couple of geese when I was a kid and they were actually mean. So, I was kind of glad when we didn't have them any more. But, if we could get them to lay golden eggs... I'd be willing to make an exception.

Urban Circus, what a GREAT giveaway! Six geese a laying would have to go live at a friend's ranch on their big pond. We have a great dane that just loves to chase big birds so they would be very skinny geese at our place (south of San Antonio). :D
